Autumn is here and we can look back and reflect on a very good summer forSBU3A . We have attracted a reasonable number of new members who have heard about us, mainly through word of mouth, so keep telling your friends about our U3A. We would also ask you to be aware of any newly, semi retired or prospective retirees as we would welcome the fresh ideas and skills they could contribute from their more recent careers. We recently held a meeting for our newer members on the same afternoon we held our convenors get together. This gave the convenors the opportunity to tell the more recently joined members all about their respective groups and get some feedback. Hopefully this has given us a template for future meetings, so watch this space. Our convenors work very hard to make the groups relevant and enjoyable for members. They also understand the importance of the educational ethos of U3A and how to balance that with a sense of fun and enjoyment. Some are also working hard to encourage their members to present and be involved in the running of the groups. At our meeting, one of the convenors emphasised the importance of learning and helping members in presenting that same education. The subjects of the last two General Meetings have been outstanding with talks about the history of Harefield Hospital and the revised reputation of Harold Wilson. Our General Meetings continue to offer a wide range of fascinating subjects and I know Jo has great plans for next years topics. So enjoy the run up to Christmas with all the activities our group and The Thames Valley Network have to offer . ____________________________________________________________________________ Phil Taylor Chairman our newest members A big welcome to our newest members: Helen Baker, William Baker, Harsh Batra, Nicola Crowther, Andrea Edwards, Richard Flavell, Madeleile Foster, Gerry Heneghan, Shelley Griffiths, Ken Hall, Eric Harris, Joan McVicar, Michael Mitchell, Anthony Pickavance, Sandra San Juan, Carmen Sugden, Lorraine Watkins-Mathys We are always pleased to welcome new members, so if you know of people you think might be interested in joining, please ask them to contact Jan Condon for more information. Telephone 01628 633109 or email: [email protected] 3 Scam Alert Recently some of our members have narrowly escaped being the victims of clever scammers, receiving phone calls and emails that allege to be from their banks, utility or internet service providers. Be on your guard... never trust an unsolicited phone call or email even if your feel sure it is genuine. Scammers may say your account has been compromised or needs to be updated and can be very persuasive and clever. SOME SIMPLE TIPS TO AVOID SCAMS Always ask your bank to verify any phone request by post or visit your branch in person. If you call your bank back straight away to verify, always use the number on the back of your card and a different phone, as scammers have a way of keeping your line open and connected to them. Never give out any financial or personal details. Your own bank will never ask you for these ... they already have them. NEVER BE RUSHED INTO ANY TRANSACTION or wire money to a stranger. If booking or purchasing items online always try to use a credit card or PayPal as this will give you a much greater level of protection against fraudsters. Never click on a link, or open an attachment in an unsolicited email unless you are 100% confident the sender is who they say they are (including friends). Make sure the websites you visit are safe and avoid links in ‘pop-up’ ads. N.B. These tips are offered as commonsense guidelines only and do not represent an official U3A advisory. thames valley network The Objects of Thames Valley Network are to advance the education of members of U3As in our region. Also, to encourage the provision of leisure activities for their social welfare, by facilitating cooperation between U3As within the network. These events are very popular and available places are often filled very quickly, so please watch out for any notifications you receive when relevant to your interest groups and regularly check both websites for the latest information. 11th November – SE Region Autumn Gathering at Alton 26th November – U3A Committee Members Workshop at Benson 3rd December – Christmas Concert – St. Jame’s Church, Paddington For current detailed information of 2020 TVN Events and booking forms please visit: u3atvnetwork.org.uk or the U3A Thames Valley Network page on our own website. 4 monthly (general) meeting news Nov. 19: Bill Hamilton – Man on the Spot: (reflections on 50 years of being a journalist, BBC reporter) FUTURE Dec . 17: Seasonal Festive Meeting MEETINGS: Jan 21: Lucy Gasson –Curious and Curioser PAST GENERAL MEETING REPORTS County Council bought the site to convert into a TB hospital, the main treatment at that time being July– A Woman in Fleet Street the fresh air in the area.

    Understanding Historic Parks & Gardens in Buckinghamshire The Buckinghamshire Gardens Trust Research & Recording Project Little Halings (Tile House Farm) April 2016 Bucks Gardens Trust Bucks Gardens Trust, Site Dossier: Little Halings, South Bucks District 02 April 2016 HISTORIC SITE BOUNDARY 1 Bucks Gardens Trust, Site Dossier: Little Halings, South Bucks District 02 April 2016 INTRODUCTION Background to the Project This site dossier has been prepared as part of The Buckinghamshire Gardens Trust (BGT) Research and Recording Project, begun in 2014. This site is one of several hundred designed landscapes county‐wide identified by Bucks County Council (BCC) in 1998 (including Milton Keynes District) as potentially retaining evidence of historic interest, as part of the Historic Parks and Gardens Register Review project carried out for English Heritage (BCC Report No. 508). The list is not conclusive and further parks and gardens may be identified as research continues or further information comes to light. Content BGT has taken the Register Review list as a sound basis from which to select sites for appraisal as part of its Research and Recording Project for designed landscapes in the historic county of Bucks (pre‐1974 boundaries). For each site a dossier is prepared by volunteers trained on behalf of BGT by experts in appraising designed landscapes who have worked extensively for English Heritage on its Register Upgrade Project. Each dossier includes the following for the site: A site boundary mapped on the current Ordnance Survey to indicate the extent of the main part of the surviving designed landscape, also a current aerial photograph. A statement of historic significance based on the four Interests outlined in the National Policy Planning Framework and including an overview.

  • Hedgerley Parish Council Comments on SBDC Ward Boundaries Consultation
    Hedgerley Parish Council Comments on SBDC Ward Boundaries Consultation Hedgerley Parish Council (HPC) is opposed to any change to the District Ward boundaries which would result in there being more than one District Councillor representing the Civil Parish of Hedgerley. This is because the single point of focus for District representation that exists now, and that works so well in the practical administration of Hedgerley, would be lost. We know that having one District Councillor to one or many parish Councils is effective. (The present District Councillor attends HPC and also Fulmer Parish Council meetings.) HPC appreciates that having many District Councillors to one Parish Council could be appropriate for large parishes. However HPC does not see how having many District Councillors to many Parish Councils could work at a practical level. Which of the District Councillors would attend HPC meetings? Would all of them attend? Perhaps there would be a rota, but how would there be continuity in addressing the issues pertinent to Hedgerley? In terms of alignment with other communities: According to the SBDC ward profile: the Hedgerley & Fulmer ward has a population of 1525, is made up of 12 hectares of buildings (0.9% of ward area) and 1112 hectares of green‐space (91% of ward area). In contrast the Farnham Royal ward has a population of 5218, is 24 hectares of buildings (6% of ward area) and just 197 hectares of green‐ space (49% of ward area). In summary, Hedgerley could be considered to be rural whereas Farnham Royal is largely residential. This difference in ward profile is further highlighted in the population density figures of 12.44 persons per hectare versus 1.12 persons per hectare for Hedgerley.

It reminds me of new starts: a new year at school, crisp new uniform and most importantly to me the brand-new stationery. Like New Year’s Day, the air is ripe with opportunity and possibility. This could be a good time to start something new: for me it’s editing this magazine; for farnhamsmagazine Victoria on page 40 it’s volunteering at the Village Hall. In this issue there are some good pictures of the Open Gardens and the Parish Fete. We have sharing life in our community updates of your local organisations – the Community Library, Sports, JAWS and lots of activities in the schools. The beautiful picture on the cover reminds us that autumn will soon be turning Burnham Beeches golden.
